Russia and China on Friday stressed their common desire for a ''multi-polar world'' - one not dominated by the United States - and vowed to keep improving economic ties that President Vladimir Putin said are already improving fast.

Putin met with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, a former ambassador to the United States who suggested the trip to Moscow less than three months after his appointment, underscoring Russia's importance for Beijing.

''In the past few years, thanks to great contributions by our leaders and our governments, great positive changes have occurred in bilateral relations, taking our strategic partnership further,'' Yang told Putin in talks at the Russian leader's residence outside Moscow.

Following his meeting with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, Yang said close relations between Russia and China help ''foster the creation of a multi-polar world and the democratization of international relations,'' which he said both countries believe are ''the most important trends in history.''

''Efforts to create a new, more fair world order'' were at the forefront of cooperation between Russian and China in international affairs, Lavrov said.

1. The enemy of my enemy is my friend............

the rest of the world is diminishing our self importance. Let's see what other big, rich oil producing, oil consuming countries bushco can alienate. bushco's damage to America is unmeasurable.

[whistle]

2. Excellent, America alone can never be trusted with such unchallenged power

...and domination. Look how much the United States has screwed up the western hemisphere of North and South America since the implementation of the Monroe Doctrine and the nearly 200 years which followed. Our system is too corrupt, too profit centered, too irresponsible to deserve even that much power and control over a region of the world.

3. I'm counting on others to put these judeo-christian crusaders back into the 'kook' boxes.

Our gov't is bought and paid for by their lobby's so I seriously doubt that it can be done from within.
